Plastpro Inc., is proud to be part of the ABC Green Home Project in Irvine, CA. Called the ABC Green Home, the project is being spearheaded by Southern California Edison and Green Home Builder magazine. Its name is derived from the goal to make the home affordable, buildable and certified by the green building certification groups like Build It Green and LEED When completed, the Craftsman-style, 1700-square-foot house will be a net-zero home, generating as much energy from roof-top solar panels as it consumes. It also will conserve water, use recycled building materials, will have good indoor air quality and will be handicapped accessible. The goal is to keep construction costs to about to per square foot — only slightly higher than today’s conventional building costs. The project is important, backers said, because it’s pioneering techniques to help builders meet the California Energy Commission’s goal of building “net-zero” homes by 2020. When the home is completed, it will be on display at the Great Park through January or February of 2014. After that, the home will be dismantled, reassembled on a permanent home site — most likely in Santa Ana — and donated to a needy family designated by Habitat for Humanity.
